Park Sung Hwan - The man to look out for?

With a win over Chen Jin in the recent Asia Badminton Championship Men's Singles Finals and Lin Dan in the first round of 2007's China Open (And in Lin Dan's homeground!) , the Korean looks set to create upsets in the upcoming Beijing Olympics. Does anyone have more info about him? Frankly speaking, I have never heard of this name before the ABC. The only Korean MS players I knew were Lee Hyun Il and Shon Seung Mo. Although a little lacking in defense, seems like Park Sung Hwan has what it takes to step up and become a tough contender for Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei in the near future.

Yeah, PSH is definitely one of the guy to watch. Although he is not particularly fast, but I think his height give him good angle when attack and good court coverage.

The first time I heard about PSH was back in 06 TC I think, when he completed LYB's assignment by breaking WCH's ankle.

Park Sung Hwan could be the dark horse in this upcoming Olympics... his style of play is abit similar 2 LCW, can retrieve any kinda shot...

Ever since his finalist appearance in the 2004 Malaysian Open (where he lost the final to LCW), he has never reached another major final, until he won the ABC last month... Now he is gunning for more...

When LD heard that Park Sung Hwan had been trained to deal with LD in this TC but didn't play his best, LD frankly expressed his view, "He is not mature enough if he's just concentrating on me because there are many elite players who are outstanding. Even if he can beat me, this does not prove anything. He's a little younger than me, but he should have a better plan. Despite being Korean 1st men single but just concentrating on me, he's a bit short-sighted. Chen Jin, Bao Chunlai, Lee Chong Wei and Peter Gade ......he lose more even in these usual results. His direction may be wrong, champion should be his standard and not to regard beating me as his standard. "
